HI All

I am building a shop that will have truck loads of compost as products in a category - the shop has limited products in total. The shop is still in localhost whilst i sort this out

1 Cubic Meter load is a product
2 cubic meter load is a product
3 cubic meter load is a product

The above all need to have a shipping charge attached as each one will mean the truck goes out to deliver. However, we also sell some plants and smaller goods that I would like not to charge for if they go out with a big load on the truck.

I have applied the shipping per article rule which is great but it doesnt discriminate between items in the cart and charges a new fee for each item. The smaller items will mostly be by courier but occasionally people will order them with the big loads on the truck.

What is the best way to set this up - please bear in mind that I am not experienced in writing rules.

I can really even do a flat fee per zip/postal code as if the order 10 loads then its ten trips that will fall on one order/invoice and only be charged for once.

Any help is greatly appreciated
